Is this legit? Worked okay in 2002/3 Grand Finals.

I'd be doubtful, Brisbane don't tend to experiment much

 

[Heardy_101]

Geelong home kit is navy shorts and navy ribbed socks
This essentially makes them 'dark' enough when Hawks are yellow/white
The 'light team'

No, because their main colour is white.

I do agree that the white shorts on Hawthorn gives the impression of a "lighter" colour (even with their home jumper) and brown shorts makes that same jumper look dark.

However the best combination is Cats in all white and Hawks in brown shorts.

So hold up.

Why did 2023 need to happen, then?

That’s the official AFL memo.

Disagree
Look it up what I'm saying works
Geelong don't wear navy nearly enough
Fair enough against black/blue

You are wrong in this one, navy shorts doesnt make geelongs kit dark overall, just a mishmash of dark shorts and a light jumper.

I'd be shocked but so happy if this is true.

Unless if there's a clash I always want to see us wear our home jumper that we won four flags in in a prelim or grand final. My preference is also to always wear our home jumper when we play the old enemy, although I also know the will of the old Fitzroy supporters should be respected as well.

I'm still baffled by this - does the AFL read this and go: "we're gonna mess with the FJGD Board on BigFooty"

Yes. I get the run sheet every week on a Wednesday and it lists every game of the round.

so why cant umpires be in light blue? or that darker green

Don't ask me. I don't make any of these decisions.

 

[aCunningPlan]

Umpires only have green, yellow and light blue. I agree the light blue is always preferable with Hawthorn's gold with brown shorts looking close to the umpire's green and charcoal.

My test with contrast is simply watching a game for a few seconds with my glasses off and the Hawks and umpires are impossible to tell apart. I assume the AFL think that lime green and gold are distinct colours so it's all good.

Fitzroy's anthem literally says they're a maroon team, likewise, their original jumper was maroon as well. Glad to see us playing in maroon to respect the OG Fitzroy supporters

Umpires only have green, yellow and light blue.

They should have white, red and pink variations to offer better contrast in certain games.

One can dream, visually a great match up.

All gold back on the Hawthorn jumper . It's time for the return.

 

[parano1a]

Grand Final kits are fairly straightforward now.

Geelong (home/white) v Collingwood (home/black) or Brisbane (home/maroon)

 

[parano1a]

Cats wear navy against Brisbane

Only when they wear Fitzroy red which they won't for a Grand Final

Sure I've seen it before

Anyway care about the medals not the shorts
